Bodega Canal

So upset. I have celiac and ordered a cheese quesadilla. Came out clearly not gluten free (someone else in my party ordered a non gf cheese quesadilla , they looked identical), so I asked the waiter. He said not to eat my meal, so I waited 20 minutes for an actual gluten free dish to come, while the rest of my party ate their dinner. Not only was there no apology, they charged us for the gluten free quesadilla. When I asked at the end of our time dining, the server said the charge had already gone thru and he would void it "later". I know people don't care about gluten allergies for whatever reason, but as someone trying to have a baby down the line (eating gluten as a celiac causes infertility) and not get cancer I wish I was treated more respectfully. I really am so upset.

I went in assuming I would be able to have almost anything, given most of this food is naturally gluten free. Staff made me a little nervous, when I asked about the chips they said there was a fish allergy concern and they seemed unsure about other items. I just got rice and beans and a marg!

They are amazing with making sure your choices are GF. GF chips available so you can have the guacamole and salsa! You can have all but one taco due to it being fried.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
